2026 Economic Development Strategy

Community Economic Development is the process of making a community a better place to live, play and do business!

The City of Elliot Lake is kicking off a new initiative!

Working with McSweeney and Associates, an Ontario-based consulting firm, staff are preparing a new 5-year strategy to help guide the future of Economic Development in Elliot Lake named 
“The 2026 Elliot Lake Economic Development Strategy: Moving Forward with Purpose.”

As part of this initiative, we have prepared a short survey to help residents of Elliot Lake give their feedback and help guide the future of Economic Development in Elliot Lake! If you are a resident of Elliot Lake and would like to complete the survey it can be found by clicking here.

A local resident Working Group has been established to help guide the strategy and we will be holding a number of community engagement sessions so citizens can provide input and help guide this initiative.

You are a stakeholder in our community and as a stakeholder, we want your input!
